Piezo Bridge Pickup Upgraded Version Guitar Tremolo Bridge Saddles with Piezo Pickup 10.5mm String Spacing for Strat or Tele Electric Guitar Chrome

I use piezo bridges on all my electrics. 3 have Brenners (a one piece / compensated bridge for strats / teles). They have great volume when run passively, and just need little tweaking with a floor preamp. But, I have been wanting a 6 saddle system, tho the price of ghost / fishman systems is prohibitive. So this caught my eye for under 40 bucks. I installed it as a passive system (no onboard preamp in guitar). I had to strip all six wires (which are pretty stout - a good thing). Then I had to solder them all to a single wire (cuz they aren't long enough to get to the jack). Then I had to bunch them together with shrink tube (for neatness sake), and then shrink tube over the 6 to 1 connection. THEN I only had to instal them, and solder the single wire to the ring on a TRS jack. *You do not need a ground wire to the jack as long as your bridge is grounded. I put this in a strat style guitar with an amply grounded bridge. The result: The output is about half that of the Brenners. But, it's pretty balanced, and is easily compensated for with an active floor preamp (I use - a Caline 10 band EQ into a Sonicake active volume pedal into a tiny Behringer 4 channel mixer (active). The mixer allows me to combine piezo / mag signals (mags run through an amp sim) adjust volume levels, and send one signal to the PA. It works phenomenally well. So, all in all, with a couple tweaks of the sliders on the EQ and a volume boost on the mixer, it sounds as good as any of my other piezo bridges. AND I have individually adjustable saddles! AND they look great, too. The gold piezo element really pops. Also, the saddles feel really nice. The set screws recess nicely. Very smooth. Guitar is intonated perfectly. I really hope they keep making these! Edit: I also put these in a Sonic Strat build, with a hard tail, top loader bridge. I wasn't sure how it would work in that application, but it worked really well. See pics. Same process, only in this case, the 6 wires would've been long enough to reach the jack, but they wouldn't fit through the hole from the control cavity to the jack cavity. So rather than ream it out, I just soldered them to a single wire again. To get into the cavity from the bridge, I just used the narrow end of a file to cut halfway through the back of the pickguard to create a trough deep enough for the wires to fit between the body and the pickguard. Since the pickguard was so close to the bridge plate, I also had to be make a small indent. but it looks really nice. It wouldn't be visible at all, except the filing removed the gold backing from the pickguard. But it's negligible, and very secure, and wouldn't be an issue on a standard pickguard. Again, hope this helps. Edit: Installed a third set in a IYV hollow body tele thing. Again, the sound quality is good. BUT... I've had two saddles fail out of three sets. When the first one failed, I messaged the seller, and they immediately responded and mailed a whole new set of 6. Which was good, because I replaced the bad one, and then had 5 in reserve. And I had to use one of them on the IYV. So, great customer service. And still good for the price. But in case this happens to you... Each failed in a different way. On the white strat, the saddle under the B string began making an intermittent, loud popping noise when I would pick hard. That was easy to diagnose. BUT on the IYV, ALL 6 saddles ceased working because of a fault in ONE of the saddles. I don't know why this happens with piezo saddles, but I had it happen before with an expensive Fishman system and knew what to look for. Here's how to diagnose it. Plug the guitar in and turn the volume up (on the piezos). Then begin loosening the tension on each string one by one. When the tension is all the way off, strum the strings (the 5 that have tension). If no sound, tighten the string back up and move to the next one. Eventually, you will find the bad saddle when the 5 saddles that have full string tension make noise. Replace that saddle, and you're good to go.

I installed the Domofa Piezo Bridge Pickup Upgraded Version in a strat. One saddle was extremely quiet and one was very loud not matching the outputs of the other 4 saddles. I swapped them into different string positions and it is definitely a saddle issue not a wiring or install issue. So this product is not usable. I would like to hear from the seller to see if they could make this right.

i really like these, and have put them on most of my strats now. i run them in a roland gk setup in the guitar in of a gk2/2a/3 and they work great and sound great. simple install, fit import and american , and priced right.

A good product. Probably didn’t quite do what I hoped in terms of sounding like an acoustic guitar but it’s interesting and they are well made. Compared to the normal electric guitar pickups in the guitar they are quieter, so I lowered the standard pickups to match.

These are OK, the first package I got only had three pickups in it, the bag was not sealed so maybe someone at an Amazon warehouse lifted some and hoped no one would notice. Amazon sent a replacement right away, because they are awesome. As far as functionality I am using them to electrify a solid body ukulele I made for my son, they do amplify the nylon strings and have surprisingly good volume, but the 60hz (58 to be exact) I cannot seem to get rid of, even grounding the bridge to the output jack. I think I am going to have to try to make a small passive high pass filter, at 70hz or something and put it under the pick guard. Hopefully that works.

I've ordered two sets and installed one, at the moment. Placement is fairly easy, but I wanted to hide the cables. I've ordered a simple hardtail bridge and drilled holes in it for the cables to run through. The next thing was to use the router to route a slot under the bridge for the cables. I've added a switch (Jaguar style) to switch between magnets and piezo's. I really like the sound of these. Volume levels, without volume pot, are pretty decent! I'm using a Helix LT in which I have a preset with an acoustic guitar IR and pre-amp. Really happy with these.

First off, the saddles sound great! The biggest issue is, and it’s a huge one, 2 of the saddles tend to stop working randomly. The piezo elements don’t appear to be seated right in the saddle. Seems to be a design flaw.

Easy to install with no hassle. Audio output is nice and clear with piezo preamp. Mechanical dimensions are well described precisely.

Actually really great for the money. Used on a little project where I semihollowed and old squire affinity I'd previously modded. Stripped the wires at the end and soldered together into a 3 way switch with my normal pickups running into the other side so can have piezo only, piezo and pickups together or just pickups on their own. Sound bright and clear with good resonance on their own and really amazing with my very dark neck pickup. Adds a little something to the other positions aswell (bridge and piezo with a slide is fun) but that neck humbucker-piezo combo is really something. Warm spanky jazzy tones. Did have to pull the pickups back from the strings a bit to get a decent volume balance as the piezos are a little quiter than the others, but not having to install a preamp to get a good balance is a positive that cannot be understated. Great stuff. Would purchase again for similar projects.

Nice cheaper option for hardtail bridge other than Graphtech pickups. Sounds great.

Works great. Its a passive pickup so it probably need a eq pedal. It sounds acoustic. I ran all the wires to a separate 1/4 inch out. That way I have One 1/4 inch out for the electric and the other 1/4 inch out for the acoustic. The problem was I was, getting buzzing when I just plugged it in for the acoustic. Once I plugged in the electric the buzzing stopped. So I decided to take a separate wire and run it from under bridge to the other terminal on the 1/4 inch out (ground). It stopped all the buzzing. Anyone have questions?

the pick up has a good sound.. but there is low buzz. also there is no manual or indication whci are numbers for the saddles

1 of the 6 saddles is quieter than the others; approximately half the output. All saddles are wired to the same preamp.
